Light-Contact

Legwork:

• Two participants are opposite each other. Participant A moves sideways with Chassé steps, participant B constantly tries to stay opposite their partner. After the roles have been swapped, it is also possible to move in all directions. Contact can be trained by having the fists of the leading hand of both participants touch slightly with each step.
• Two participants are opposite each other. Participant A takes 1-3 steps forwards, participant B tries to retreat without delay. As soon as A stops, the partner may attack 1-3 steps. The exercise is performed without punches, the hands are in a boxing position or clasped behind the body.
• Torero: The participants face each other at a slight distance. Participant A stretches his arm forwards and runs towards participant B (the fist is aimed at the opponent's forehead). Before the attacker catches the defender, participant B dodges to the side (outer side of participant A's arm).

Evasive manoeuvre:

• Duck avoidance: Participant A performs a straight punch (target opponent's forehead), Participant B ducks under the punch.
• Rolling avoidance: Participant A throws a slap/side-hook, Participant B rolls out the punch with an upper body movement.
• Lateral avoidance: Participant A performs a straight punch, participant B avoids to the outside of the partner's punching hand.

Defensive behaviour:

• From a standing position, participant A performs a single punch, participant B avoids by avoiding the upper body.
• From a standing position, competitor A performs a single strike, competitor B defends by blocking (defence with the arms).
• From a standing position, competitor A performs a single strike, competitor B evades by taking steps.

Competition:

• Both participants try to touch their opponent on the shoulder (note: only from the outside, not crosswise) and on the knees. After a hit, both participants move back and touch a defined line (e.g. volleyball sideline) before attacking again.
• one-touch: Both participants try to touch each other (excl. forearms, incl. forehead). With each hit, a defined line (e.g. volleyball line) is touched before the fight continues.
